    Plex removed support for Legacy NAS on their newer versions.

     

    You may want to try this link and see if it will work with your Duo V2. Hope you can update us.

    Hi Marc_V 

     

    Thanks for the help giving me the files. I managed to install the 0.9.8.6.175 version, the other version failed to install when i tried, I added some content but when i tried to view the server on my Samsung Smart TV i was unable to see the server. Is this because the Plex app is a later version to my Duo V2 and i will not be able to see this?

     

    Thanks for the quick reply

      Hi Bazatron84

       

      Thanks for the update, not really sure as to why your NAS is not seen but it might be because of the version of the Plex App.

       

      Have you checked if your Network DNS servers are set? Also, if you can toggle the app service it might help.

       

       

      Regards

        Hi Marc_V ,

         

        Thanks for the reply, i ended up trying to run the Plex app from my tower and was able to access it although it kept buffering.

         

        I checked the DNS settings on the ReadyNAS and they seem fine or at least setup with the default settings. Is there any way of changing some of the settings to improve the buffering (Sorry for the stupid question bit new to the networking)

         

        When i tried to install 0.9.16.6.1993 version i got "architecture is bad" do you have an .arm version or was this all you had?

         

        Thanks again for your help in my questions, i appreciate it.
